Preventive Dentistry

With routine professional cleanings, at-home oral hygiene routine and oral hygiene education most patients can enjoy a cavity and disease free smile.

At your six month routine exam we will take x-rays if needed, examine your teeth and surrounding tissue for any signs of decay or disease, and complete a gentle but through cleaning. We also provide oral hygiene education so patients can get the maximum benefit from their at-home oral hygiene care. We want our patients to be active, contributing members to their oral health.

Even the most diligent patient who faithfully brushes and flosses their teeth is not able to remove all of the plaque buildup so we recommend professional cleanings every six months. Routine exams allow us to detect and treat any dental issues while they are small, making treatment easier.
